Expert insights to help you navigate the world of insurance
Insurance applications for foster agencies and human service organizations run longer and ask more questions than most organizations expect.
A group home is not just a building with residents. It is a working care environment that never shuts down.
Insurance is the safety net. Risk management is everything that keeps you from needing it often. For foster agencies and human service organizations, those two things work together, but confusing one for the other is a costly mistake.
State licensing bodies don't leave much to interpretation when it comes to insurance. Before an agency opens its doors, and every renewal cycle after that, regulators want documentation — specific coverage types, minimum limits, sometimes named endorsements. Meeting those requirements is a condition for operating.
Most foster agencies and human service organizations carry general liability, professional liability, and auto coverage. What those policies have in common is a ceiling. When a serious claim pushes past that ceiling, whatever is left becomes the organization's problem.
Most foster agencies and human service organizations don't think of themselves as running a transportation operation. But between driving foster children to medical appointments, caseworkers making home visits, and volunteers shuttling clients to program activities, a significant amount of driving happens on behalf of organizations every week. And when an accident occurs during one of those trips, liability rarely stops with the driver.
